The following paper examines the Nile question from an Egyptian perspective. The Nile is Egypt's main source of water, and 96% of this water originates from outside of its territory. This explains why water is a key security issue for Egypt, and why, from Egypt's point of view, cooperation with the upstream Nile countries is the only way forward. Egypt's water policy focuses on demand management, environmental protection and international joint projects to increase the water supply (e.g. Jonglei canal).
